Scentsy, Inc. Brand Confusion?

As many of you have heard, Scentsy, Inc. is launching all kinds of great new products this year.  What does it all mean?  So first, let's establish that Scentsy, Inc. is the Umbrella Corporation that owns three brands:

1. Scentsy Wickless
2. Velata (to be launched on 1 May 2012)
3. Brand X (to be announced in July 2012)

A current Scentsy Wickless Independent Consultant does not have automatic access to these other two brands as they are stand-alone, yet can be combined into one powerful toolbox for a Consultant.  At it's most basic level an Independent Velata Consultant does not have to be an Independent Scentsy Wickless Consultant, or vice versa.  Same with Brand X.  These are each individual business, that can be run on their own.

Where the biggest bang for your buck as a Consultant is: we can have three businesses under one umbrella, with one compensation structure, AND even if I don't sell one brand or another, I can still recruit and maintain a downline in any of the other brands!  What a genius idea!  How many Direct Sales folks do you know who sell products for multiple companies?  They have to maintain multiple downlines, they have separate sales minimums for each, and different standards, processes, etc. for each as well.  One stop shopping for Scentsy, Inc. and we can have as many as three businesses under one roof and sales, regardless of brand are cumulative for each month toward your Personal Retail Volume, Team and Group Wholesale Volumes.  So, for example, if you have a month, where you sell:

• $1000 of Scentsy Wickless
• $650 of Velata
• $450 of Brand X

You will be paid on $2,100 of commission and receive the monthly sales bonus of an additional 5%.  Conversely, if you were to sell the same amount with three separate companies, you might not even meet sales minimums, or if you do, you're getting paid on disparate numbers.

In my mind, this is business plan is genius, and I am very much looking forward to proving that it will work starting in May!  Let me know if I can help answer any questions on this!  Current Scentsy Wickless Consultants are getting the opportunity to sign up for the new Velata line ahead of the general public by two weeks, so if you've been sitting on the fence, get with your potential sponsor and make it happen!

Scentsy Wax - How Long does it last & Wax Wednesday

This is a Scentsy Bar, and within this clamshell, there are eight smaller cubes.  I recommend with every scent, starting with one cube, and if you need it to be stronger, add a second cube.  Each of those cubes is going to last for about 8-10 hours, so if you're running your Scentsy for a few hours each day, then it should last you for about a week.  This has the equivalent run time of a medium sized traditional Jar candle, but this only costs $5 and you can change up your scent as often as you like without taking up valuable cabinet space with big bulky glass jars. 

In our house, we have "Wax Wednesday" where we change out the wax in all of warmers (*ahem, we have eight...yes, I'm a certified addict).

To change the wax out, you have several different options:

• If you're not done with the scent yet, but you're ready for something different, while the wax is melted, simply pour it back into the clamshell and let it cool back to room temperature to use again later.  Wipe out your Scentsy lid with a papertowel and you're ready to go for your next scent.
• If you're done with the scent, you can use our Grab-Tabs - to use: once the wax is melted, turn your Scentsy off, and let it sit for about five minute to cool, and submerge a grab-tab into the wax   making sure it sits on the bottom of the wax - allow to cool for about 20 minutes and pull it out - that simple!
• The last option for you, is to gently use a disposable plastic knife, and insert it at an angle in the middle of completely cooled (solid) wax; lift up slightly to create a pocket, and it will pop right out as well.

** The Grab-tab is the safest option for Plug-ins (night-light size warmers).

Starting a Timeline

Hi All, I started this blog as a tool that I hope to be able to point potential customers, recruits and fellow Scentsy Consultants toward to help answer questions, get the word out and in general share all of the great things that Scentsy is doing in my life and other people's lives!


So, a quick summary of my Scentsy Journey so far:


February of 2011, I went to visit my family in the Pacific Northwest, and my sister had a Scentsy warmer in her house, and she showed me all the great stuff about it and shared about how it was such a great product.  I thought 'neat!' and went along my merry way, thinking every so often about checking out their website and ordering, but getting caught up in the busy-ness of business and forgot time and again.


A few months later, I found a friend from a few duty stations ago on facebook and we reconnected.  Then, I started to notice that she was talking about going on free trips with this Scentsy company, and THEN I saw her post in August of 2011 how much her team sales totaled.  I took my socks off and started doing to fingers and toes math, and was blown away!  I decided that, heck, what's the harm if I drop $99 and this doesn't work out - I can remember a ton of times (in the recent past), when I've gone to Target and dropped that much or more, and didn't have much to show for it - certainly not anything that could be an investment!


So....September 13th, 2011 I signed up and joined Heather's team as an Escential Consultant.  By the end of the month, I had promoted to Certified Consultant and then Lead Consultant and I thought 'wow, I have NEVER gotten two promotions in one month in my 9-5 job!' and the hook was set.


Slowly but surely, I worked my way through the Holiday season.  I did two vendor shows, and started to pick up recruits here and there, growing my team one Superwoman at a time, and today, I have 21 amazing women on my team, and growing every week.  It's amazing to see the personal successes and growth of these women on my team, and I am so enjoying this journey with them.  More to come soon!!!
